If you are looking at your different QuickBooks options for your business, you know that there are a lot of ones that you can choose. But there are ways that you can narrow your choices down so that the search is a bit easier for you. Here are some questions to ask yourself to help you with choosing the right one.
1. Do you use Mac machines and software?
If you use Mac rather than windows, you have a few options to choose from. With a shop that is all Mac, your best choices are QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Mac.
2. Do you want access on the go?
If you are looking for remote access, QuickBooks online is the best choice for you. Access that you can have anytime and anywhere is appealing for many people. There is also a QuickBooks Pro monthly service so that you can enable mobile and remote data access. However, this also is added to the license fee. If you’re doing business anywhere, the best choice will be QuickBooks online.
3. Do you want a QuickBooks version that’s industry specific?
The best choice for you is QuickBooks Premier. There are features with this that are specific to different industries and it offers increased inventory controls that you may need.
4. Do you build products out of raw materials and need to track your inventory?
QuickBooks Pro isn’t a good idea when this is the case, because you’ll be tracking the inventory both for the finished products and raw materials. So you want to choose QuickBooks Premier.
5. Are you looking for something that handles general accounting for a small business?
The one to choose will be QuickBooks Pro. This is QuickBooks’ workhouse addition and it handles just about anything small businesses need. It also works well with an accountant. If you’re looking for a software package for small businesses, QuickBooks Pro’s the way to go.
These are the questions you want to ask when you’re trying to decide on the right QuickBooks version for your business. They will help you with finding the right one for your needs.
